yea i would post some pictures but my computer is on its last leg so ill have to wait until tomorrow its been a while since ive been to the forum due to my sucky computer but yea it is really coming together i smoked my taillights and now im working on finding interior parts oh man im exited to pull up in it the first day of my senior year and another good thing i have come across a 350 bare block for 60 bucks and i am considering building a stroker motor for it i checked the block out and everything appears to be in good shape it is just a bare block that has been sitting up for a while but there are no cracks or anything and the stroker kit comes with crank, rods, pistons and all so it looks like ill be using some of that money i saved on my paint job to make it run as good as it looks all is good
